Markets in everything, just don’t trust the Khmer Rouge

A former Khmer Rouge official photographer has put on sale for 1.5
million dollars what he claims to be Pol Pot's clothes, sandals and
toilet, along with thousands of photographs and other artifacts he
collected during the genocidal regime's 1975-79 rule. "I will sell Pol
Pot's sandals, toilet, his uniform and cap, thousands of photographs
and the two cameras I used during the Khmer Rouge period," said Nhem
En, who was recruited to take photographs of detainees when they
arrived at Tuol Sleng torture prison in Phnom Penh.

"I am asking for 1.5 million dollars, but the price is negotiable," he added.

Bringing such unique wares to market, he sets his price at some wish-level (likely well above its intrinsic value) – but only
the subsequent bids will reveal its ultimate qualitative worth, ultimately determined by the transaction price.
